I love the animated 1966 version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Love it. Forget Rudolph, forget Frosty, nope to A Christmas Story and uh-uh to It’s A Wonderful Life. How the Grinch Stole Christmas is THE Christmas movie for me! (I even played the Grinch in a church adaptation years ago. I got to crawl through a cardboard chimney. Yup, I got stuck and had to wiggle out of it. Of course we all laughed.) When this movie finally came out on DVD you bet I bought it. I watch it every Christmas (along with Die Hard). This way I can watch it all the time and not have to worry about catching it on TV.  🙂

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is funny and very touching. I still kind of tear-up at the end. For me the best part about the movie is hearing the Grinch AND watching his interactions with Max his dog. The visual and aural humor never stops for me. I love everything about it. It is 24 minutes of pure Christmas joy.

OH MY!! There is also a How the Grinch Stole Christmas musical. Oh if it ever comes close to me, I am so going. 🙂

Perfect Christmas Song: You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch.

P.S. Please DO NOT CONFUSE this wonderful animated movie with the foul stench that is the live action version made in 2000 with Jim Carrey. Just don’t go there. Check out the title Movie Hubby & I & Friends Hated on the Chick Flicking Lists & Faves page for the full run down.
